WHEN  YE  PRAY,  SAY 
THY  KINGDOM  COME 


OFFICE 


In  the  Name  of  the  Father^  and  of  the  Son,  and 
of  the  Holy  Ghost.  Amen. 

BELIEVE  in  God  the  Father  Al¬ 
mighty,  Maker  of  heaven  andearth: 
And  in  Jesus  Christ  his  only  Son  our 
Lord:  Who  was  conceived  by  the 
Holy  Ghost,  Born  of  the  Virgin  Mary:  Suf¬ 
fered  under  Pontius  Pilate,  Was  crucified, 
dead,  and  buried:  He  descended  into  hell; 
The  third  day  he  rose  again  from  the  dead: 
He  ascended  into  heaven.  And  sitteth  on 
the  right  hand  of  God  the  Father  Almighty: 
From  thence  he  shall  come  to  judge  thequick 
and  the  dead. 

I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost:  The  holy  Cath¬ 
olic  Church;  The  Communion  ofSaints:The 
Forgiveness  of  sins:  The  Resurreflion  of  the 
body:  And  the  Life  everlasting.  Amen. 

^  The  Lord  be  with  you. 

B?  And  with  thy  spirit. 


Let  us  pray. 

UR  Father,  who  art  in  heaven.  Hal¬ 
lowed  be  thy  Name.  Thy  kingdom 
come.  Thy  will  be  done  on  earth. 
As  it  is  in  heaven.  Give  us  this  day 
our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  trespasses. 


As  we  forgive  those  who  trespass  against  us. 
And  lead  us  not  into  temptation;  But  deliver 
us  from  evil  ;  For  thine  is  the  kingdom,  and 
the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever  and  ever. 
Amen. 

'f  Desire  of  me,  and  I  shall  give  thee  the 
heathen  for  thine  inheritance. 

1^7  And  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth  for 
thy  possession. 

LESSED  Saviour,  who  at  this  hour 
didst  hang  upon  the  Cross,  stretch¬ 
ing  forth  thy  loving  arms  ;  Grant 
that  all  mankind  may  look  unto 
thee,  and  be  saved ;  through  thy  mercies 
and  merits,  who  livest  and  reignest  with  the 
Father  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  ever  One  God, 
world  without  end.  Amen. 
f  The  Gentiles  shall  come  to  thy  light: 

And  kings  to  the  brightness  of  thy  rising. 
LMIGHTY  Saviour,  who  at  mid¬ 
day  didst  call  thy  servant  Saint  Paul 
to  bean  apostle  to  the  Gentiles;  We 
beseech  thee  to  illumine  the  world 
with  the  radiance  of  thy  glory,  that  all  na¬ 
tions  may  come  and  worship  thee,  who  art 
with  the  Father  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  one 
God,  world  without  end.  Amen. 


f  A  Light  to  lighten  the  Gentiles: 

157  And  the  glory  of  thy  people  Israel. 

ATHER  of  mercies,  who  to  thine 
Apostle  Saint  Peter  didst  reveal 
in  threefold  vision  thy  boundless 
compassion;  Forgive,  we  pray  thee, 
our  unbelief,  and  so  enlarge  our  hearts  and 
enkindle  our  zeal  that  we  may  fervently  de¬ 
sire  the  salvation  of  all  men,  and  with  ready 
diligence  labor  in  the  extension  of  thy  king¬ 
dom  ;  for  his  sake  who  gave  himself  for  the 
life  of  the  world,  thy  Son  our  Saviour  Jesus 
Christ.  Amen. 

f  All  kings  shall  fall  down  before  him; 

^  All  nations  shall  do  him  service. 


LMIGHTY  and  everlasting  God, 
who  dost  govern  all  things  in 
heaven  and  earth,  we  commend  to 
thy  fatherly  care  all  whom  thou 
hast  called  to  take  partin  the  missionary  work 
of  thy  Church.  Watch  over  them,  we  beseech 
thee,  for  good;  defend  them  from  all  dangers 
both  of  body  and  soul,  from  the  pestilence 
that  walketh  in  darkness  and  the  sickness 
that  destroyeth  at  the  noonday;  give  thine 
Angels  charge  concerning  them,  and  let  thy 
Holy  Spirit  rule  in  their  hearts,  and  prosper 
all  their  work  to  the  glory  of  thy  Holy 
Name;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.  Amen. 


f'  Instead  of  thy  fathers,  thou  shall  have 
children : 

Whom  thou  mayest  make  princes  in  all 
lands, 

HEAVENLY  Father,  Lord  of  the 
harvest,  have  respeft,  we  beseech 
thee,  to  our  prayers,  and  send  forth 
labourers  into  thy  harvest.  Fit  and 
prepare  them  by  thy  grace  for  the  work  of 
their  ministry  ;  give  them  the  spirit  of  power, 
and  of  love,  and  of  a  sound  mind  ;  strengthen 
them  to  endure  hardness  ;  and  grant  that 
both  by  their  life  and  doflirine  they  may 
show,  forth  thy  glory,  and  set  forward  the 
salvation  of  all  men  ;  through  Jesus  Christ 
our  Lord.  Amen. 

f  He  shall  live,  and  unto  him  shall  be  given 
of  the  gold  of  Arabia: 

Prayer  shall  be  made  ever  unto  him,  and 
daily  shall  he  be  praised. 

LMIGHTY  God,  of  whose  only  gift 
it  Cometh  that  thy  faithful  people  do 
unto  thee  true  and  laudable  service, 
we  pray  thee  so  to  dispose  the  hearts 
of  thy  servants  that  they  may  freely  give  of 
their  substance  for  the  increase  of  thy  king¬ 
dom,  and  the  salvation  of  all  men  ;  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.  Amen. 


^  O  Saviour  of  the  world,  who  by  thy  Cross 
and  precious  Blood  hast  redeemed  us: 

Save  us,  and  help  us,  we  humbly  beseech 
thee,  O  Lord. 

HE  grace  ot  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
and  the  love  of  God,  and  the  fel¬ 
lowship  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  be  with 
us  all  evermore.  Amen.
